Last weekend, Lowestoft’s Lifeboat was called into action, when the crew had to assist a sailor who was in difficulty in a small yacht.
The incident happened close to the pier heads at Lowestoft, shortly after midday on Saturday 19th June.
It was decided by the lifeboat crew that a tow was necessary and the safest way to help the sailor - and the yacht was brought into the harbour at around 1 o'clock. This image on social media from Lowestoft Lifeboat's shows the yacht being towed onto harbour.
Meanwhile, it was also a busy Saturday for the East of England Air Ambulance in east Suffolk, when there were two emergency incidents.
A man in his 70s was given medical treatment in Southwold for the medical emergency shortly before midday on Saturday...
Then just a few hours later, the helicopter was back in the area - and this time in Bungay, after a man in his 60s suffered a heart attack.
Both patients were flown to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for further treatment.
